The “Moonlight Sonata” for organ? This volume demonstrates that this can indeed be an attractive option! The same goes for the hardly less well-known Adagio cantabile from the Grande Sonate Pathétique and to the four other slow movements from Beethoven’s piano sonatas, published here for the first time in versions for organ. What these works have in common is a solemn, sublime, sometimes devotional and contemplative tone, which is particularly suited to the organ and for use in worship – as music for Communion and the Eucharist, weddings, funerals, and other occasions.
